I have digital friends. Friends who I love dearly. Digital friends, for me, are ones who I consider friend but I’ve never seen them and our relationship remains over internet.

Today someone mentioned a friend of his who know each other for more than 11 years but never seen each other. They even traveled to each other’s cities but missed the chance to meet, yet remained friends for over a decade and done so much for each other.

From lending money to each other to buying presents or consulting on important matters, they’ve gone through life knowing they can rely on each other.

It is fascinating that two people who have never meet in person can care about each other this much. I have dear friends who I have never met yet they’ve done so much for me. They share stuff with me, have bought stuff for me when I couldn’t, gave me information on stuff I needed to know, talked to me about interesting things, and helped me through various matters and I’m so grateful that I have these people as friends.

I’ve seen them care about me more than my non-digital friends and that makes me so happy. Digital or not, I can call them friends and it just makes me feel better knowing there’s someone somewhere in the world who may not be physically near me but is in my hear dearly.
